Saturdays Can Kiss My Ass

I remember when Saturday used to be 'Date Day'. Saturdays are tough. I don't like them anymore.

I am having a tough time being productive any day really, but Saturday, the one day of the week I always have off and should be able to get stuff done, I hate more than any other day of the week and I just want to sit in my jammies and watch Friends.

Rod Kush Furniture is going out of business and I want to see if they have any end tables and some table lamps. Everything is supposed to be really cheap, so I'll see what I can find.

I did do one productive thing today, I put my new tv stand together. It was going fine til the very end, when I found one of the wheels broken and had to go back to Target and exchange it for one that wasn't broken. The girl at the Service Desk annoyed me. I had spoken to someone on the phone, explained the situation, then she told me to bring in the broken wheel and get a new from a different box. I get to customer service and explained what happened again and how the cart there was for me and showed her the broken wheel. So then she says, "Where's the rest of the cart?" I just kind of stared at her and was like, I already put it together and they said I could just exchange one of the wheels, and she looked confused. HELLO, not rocket science, open the damn box, give me a wheel out of the other box, and send that one back to wherever it came from. Would it make sense for me to put together a tv cart, see the wheels is broken, take it all apart again, put it back in the box, take it back to the store, exchange it for a new one, come back home, and put it together all over again? NO. Dumbass.

Obviously I have not yet found my happy place. I need to just start unpacking and forget everything for a while. The only problem with this great plan is, every time I unpack another box, I find things that aren't mine and then I feel like crying all over again.

Ugh-- hilarious. I love how you have to teach people at Target how to not be dumb. Hang in there, you are making great progress. I am so proud of you. I too am hanging in jammies all day but for other stupid reasons. I wish we could hang together and bitch about the things that hurt. :)

Thanks Em :) I wish we couldbe hanging out together right now too, that makes me sad that we can't. Maybe for Teetz's birthday you could come down, except I don't know how close it is to Christy and Ben's wedding so that might not work. We'll figure it out. I'd suggest we just all meet up randomly halfway in South Dakota, but South Dakota is stupid.
